Friday the 13th Trailer

Okay, this is one I've been waiting for. There's been a bootleg trailer floating around the Internet since Comic Con, but this is the real deal. Yeah, it's another remake, but this is a franchise in dire need of a reboot. Fortunately the film is being handled by the same Michael Bay-backed team that did the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake...easily my favorite Jessica Biel flick. While I wasn't a huge fan of the TCM remake, I didn't hate it. At least it respected the source material. If this trailer is any indication, it looks like the Platinum Dunes crew got this one right too. There are a few questions I have though. How does Pamela Voorhees play into this? BTW, she's played/voiced by Nana Visitor this time around...an obvious nod to geeks. Also, in the trailer we see Jason break stride, performing a vicious power swing with his trusty machete. Has Jason become faster, much like the undead in recent zombie flicks? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think we've ever seen Jason move this fast before. I think it could work.
